Day 18: Sahagún to Reliegos

Along the way, many pilgrims have left pithy sayings on rocks, paper, or [not scissors] as graffiti. The words are sometimes personal, sometimes trivial, sometimes silly, sometimes deepities, and sometimes profound

Translation: "Traveler, there is no path, the path is made by walking" - is that a deepity?

I was reminded of one of the sayings I had seen earlier when talking to someone yesterday who had decided to quit the Camino. I think he was finding it mentality too hard, and was having trouble eating

And the saying that came to mind: "Don't quit before the miracle happens". Mmmmm, probably not helpful

I left early this morning to try to avoid the worst of the rain. The bridge out of town was looking good...

Again the path was mostly adjacent to a road, and lined with trees...

Something that looks a bit like gorse but is not prickly is common

Riders on the Storm rode past and the rain started. Cause and effect?

I'm planning a shorter 24.5km into Leon tomorrow, meeting up with M&K, and a rest day on Tuesday 

And in case you hadn't already gathered, I'm loving the entire experience - the alone-time walking as well as the camaraderie with peregrinos from all over the world
